It's a complete violation if it's a new or changed setting from the default state of the user not having it possible.

Something to consider - location is geo-encoded already into photos and doesn't need this uploaded to Apple servers. Searching can be done locally on device for location.

Apple goes as far as to offer a setting to allow the user to share photos and remove the geocoding from it.

Offering a new feature is opt-in.

Unfortunately, against my better wishes, this only erodes trust and confidence in Apple that if this is happening visibly, what could be happening that is unknown.
This probably has a lot to do with topography of Germany compared to both Austria and Switzerland.
To be fair, the way he worded it called them NOT fragile. I think he has a point. We don't know how they are mentally, some might be fine, some might be not. Ascribing the way we think we would feel about it to the survivors feels wrong somehow.
For someone who interviews experts across a wide variety of disciplines (I've watched military professors, anthropologists, AI experts on his channel), I'd say Dwarkesh does a pretty damn good job. His interview with the Naval War college, he asked some mid questions, but the professor was able to use his questions as a launching platform to give informed insight, and it's one of my favorite interviews. I can't think of anyone else who interviews as well with such a balance of depth and breadth. It's clear he's a voracious learner and I'd bet he'll be even better than he is now in a few years. He's also really young, I'm not sure he's 30 yet.
As much as Castro in Cuba. Last week I had a conversation with a man from Cuba, who escaped and is living in Europe… he said sooo many good things about Castro and his mother.
An ethical absolutist would say "yes." But you might guess such a person is not very popular, as there is almost no aspect of simply being alive that could be considered ethical.
Yeah, this is exploitation of people because they have no other option. You should care enough for people to make things good for them. If you can’t do it right, don’t do it. This tech bro mentality of move fast and break things doesn’t work with people’s lives. Read a humanities book once in a while instead of being obsessed with technology.
A bit of googling tells me that over 2/3rds of USA states allow mifepristone.
And the Supreme Court unanimously rejected an effort to restrict access to it earlier this year.

Unethical behavior not being treated as norm-breaking unless its illegal is part of what’s being criticized here, I think.
>> entitlement implies to me that the person has invested some time and resources in asserting their right

Something else about what you said here, for titles that are earned (e.g. naturalized citizens), you don't invest time and resources to assert your right. You invest time and resources to earn the title. When you've earned the title, you've earned the rights that come with it. Having then those rights, you can then assert them. You don't need to expend anything to assert. You just claim them, since they're already your own. For example, if someone says you need to expend time and resources to assert your right to vote when you're already a citizen, that's wrong. Having expended time and resources to become a citizen (or having been born a citizen), it's already your right to vote. You're entitled to a vote.
I mean, 50K/year limit is pretty trivial to overcome. Those controls exist in a lot of countries, and anyone who has a decent amount of money is aware of ways of getting around it legally.
Yes, using anything less than the finest of French grapes from the Champagne region is just a sparking qbit.
Still nothing better than oobabooga (https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui) in terms of maximalism/"Pro"/"Prosumer" LLM UI/UX ALA Blender, Photoshop, Final Cut Pro, etc.

Embarrassing and any VCs reading this can contact me to talk about how to fix that. lm-studio is today the closest competition (but not close enough) and Adobe or Microsoft could do it if they fired their current folks which prevent this from happening.

If you're not using Oobabooga, you're likely not playing with the settings on models, and if you're not playing with your models settings, you're hardly even scratching the surface on its total capabilities.
"I've often found myself uneasy when LLMs (Large Language Models) are asked to quote the Bible. While they can provide insightful discussions about faith, their tendency to hallucinate responses raises concerns when dealing with scripture, which we regard as the inspired Word of God."

Interesting. In my very religious upbringing I wasn't allowed to read fairy tales. The danger being not able to classify which stories truly happened and which ones didn't.

Might be an interesting variant on the Turing test. Can you make the AI believe in your religion? Probably there's a sci-fi book written about it.
Mine was too but in an Olivetti M24, it even had CGA color!
I suppose it depends on how you define "intellectual". If you define it as someone who can talk for hours on end, and make a success out of it, then I'd say that's pretty smart. He's a comedian too (not seen any of his shows), which to my understanding requires quick thinking - something that most people don't have.

He's whole "I'm an idiot" thing is just a character he plays. You don't get to be a success like that by being an actual idiot.

If you mean intellectual to be "book smart", then yes I agree with you.
Yeah, no, I don't read while standing in line at Discount Tire. I people-watch.
Awesome - i guess i was trying to get at 'if upstreams co-operate, is it possible to package rust stuff nicely, or is it still a square peg/dpkg-shaped hole scenario?'. Sounds like the former, which is excellent.

(Also thanks for putting so much work into maintaining fish - i have used it as a daily driver for years, and posts like TFA showing it's maintained so professionally impress me a lot!)
that's different from half-assing though
Most study and application tries to either source or fully work out from principles the meaning of the Bible. These can be wrong arguments but wouldn’t be hallucinations.

Your experience sounds limited to Pentecostal-originated churches, which are 100-150 years old. In those churches, it’s acceptable to speak as if you’ve received a spontaneous understanding of the Bible and to not explain it. That does have a parallel to LLM hallucinations in face value output, I suppose, but the origination is completely different as the spontaneous human is making planned remarks passed off as spontaneous, trying to affect specific people in the room, or emotionally overwhelmed. None of those resemble why/how LLMs hallucinate.
Nope. It's still taking the user's data away without informing them, and saying trust us we super good encrypted it.

Apple is building a location database, for free, from user's photos and saying it's anonymized.

It's not a service I want, nor one I authorize. Nor are my photos licensed to Apple to get that information from me.

Encryption is only good relative to computational power to break it available to the many, or the few.

Computational power usually seems always available in 10-20-30 years to generally break encryption for the average person, as unimaginably hard it seems in the present. I don't have interest in taking any technical bait from the conversation at hand. Determined groups with resources could find ways..
This results in no security or encryption.
The price sounds about right. The Oakland mayor was recently investigated for paying 800k each for a similar solution from a campaign donor.

People try to tell me that it was a good deal because houses are over a million, but those include the land
I think we need more details: do you mean TVs aren't getting worse, or are? Why? What examples do you have?

I think LG's webOS is nice - its consumer friendly, but as a developer, you can whip something up and install it on your TV easily in an afternoon. OTOH, I believe not all the APIs are documented, as some of the interfaces provided to/from Netflix/Prime Video/Dinsey+ don't appear to be possible with documented APIs, and ofc, from a hardware perspective, they are completely locked in.
He's pretty good at curating very smart people and interviewing them. There's no shortage of interviews with double talking politicians and polemicists so podcasts like his are a breath of fresh air. I'm not watching his podcasts to learn about Dwarkesh, but to learn what his guests have to say.

One typo: "walpaper" on the pricing grid.
Even on CPU, you should get the start of a response within 5 seconds for Q4 8B-or-smaller Llama models (proportionally faster for smaller ones), which then stream at several tokens per second.

There are a lot of things to criticize about LLMs (the answer is quite likely to ignore what you're actually asking, for example) but your speed problem looks like a config issue instead. Are you calling the API in streaming mode?
I got the same impression at first, but I reread and think he just needed to drop the first two paragraphs. I posted a response.
Yes, I think we can. Fifty years of the guidelines, even if not always followed, form the cultural and psychological and healthcare baseline for healthy eating. And they're completely wrong – that's the author's well-documented claim, and I believe it.

E.g. look at all the fruit juice and sweet cereals and "low-fat" items on any supermarket shelf. Sells $$$billions each year - I just checked. Low-fat is very unhealthy compared to full-fat, and in the current obesity and diabetes epidemic, fruit juice and sugary cereals are just plain poison.
Define "significant," and do you have a source?

I'd bet if you ask people "do you care about privacy?" Close to 100% would say yes.

If you ask "you have to give up privacy to be able to log in to your email automatically. Are you ok with that?" Close to 100% would say yes.

If you ask "we will give you this email service for free but in exchange we get to squeeze every ounce of juice that we can out of it to persuade you to buy things you don't need. Are you ok with that?" Close to 100% would say yes.

It doesn't matter what people say they care about. Their actions say otherwise, if the privacy-friendly option is in any way less convenient.

Clearly it would only win hearts, the point of winning minds is to persuade them to your viewpoint.

If you really want to win hearts alone, drop all visa and foreign registration requirements, close Pacific military bases, cede Hawaii. There's so much you can do to win hearts.
What GPU offers a good balance between cost and performance for running LLMs locally? I'd like to do more experimenting, and am due for a GPU upgrade from my 1080 anyway, but would like to spend less than $1600...
Some people either forget, or worst, do not know it happened. But they are very opinionated…
It doesn't apply if you do direct bank to bank transfer to university, no? IIRC $50K limit per person is put on RMB <-> USD conversion, and that's is usually enough for yearly living expenses. I might be wrong, but that's how it was explained to me by my Chinese colleagues back in the day.
I just googled who Alex Karp is and... well, he has a vested interest in DoD applications. Of course he'd say this. A businessman telling us his business model is a moral imperative...
Singapore is also an island, but its relevance to global trade has more to do with the strait it sits in than in being an island. Obviously there are more factors, compare Singapore to Peneng, for example.
Anything is possible through lobbying for regulation and policy.

It's the same way that bills come out to crack people's policy.

Only people don't always know they can demand the opposite so it never gets messed with again, and instead get roped into fatigue of reacting to technology bills written by non-technology people.
Default to 80 chars is a travesty IMO, 100 or 128 would be a much better place.
> Prorate medical insurance payments based on hours, so companies that won't pay people for more than 30 hours a week pay their fraction of medical insurance

Attaching medical insurance to one's job is a market distortion caused by government tax policy. I.e. it enables one to buy insurance with pre-tax dollars rather than after-tax dollars. Making medical insurance premiums fully tax-deductible would fix that.

> A minimum wage high enough that people making it don't need food stamps.

That just makes those people unemployable, and will need food stamps even more. Nobody is going to hire people who cost more than the value they produce.

> Google should be broken up into Search, Browsers, Mobile Devices, Ads, and Services, and the units prohibited from contracting with each other.

Google is already in trouble because AI is disrupting their search/advertisement business model.

I'd be careful about destroying big business. The US is only part of the world. Destroying US big business means other countries will have those companies, and it's lose lose for the US. Do you want Big Tech to be American companies, or foreign companies?
Some commercial software licenses may include various disclaimers which exist to ward away litigious assholes. They only serve to protect the vendor against legal complaints, and do not impart responsibilities upon the vendor. Such disclaimers are not necessary but corporate lawyers have a raison d'être, and at a certain scale assholes become inevitable.
I would only assume the other side of this entire conversation, from the recruiters view is that it is also a numbers game. Recruiters are effectively sales jobs just a different contract to close on. Get enough leads and eventually they close.

I'd expect that don't care if the resumes are perfect. There's very little lost for being wrong.
They had mental problems, i suppose.
>Google should be broken up into Search, Browsers, Mobile Devices, Ads, and Services, and the units prohibited from contracting with each other.

I admire the general spirit of your comment, but this specific example seems off to me. Search and browsers, for example, don't make sense as independent businesses. Rather, they are products based off of Ads.

Maybe the idea would be for Ads to pay Search to include their ads, and for Search to pay Browsers to be the default search engine?
I dunno, people typically don't keep editing their HN comments to remove then re-add sections of text if they're not being defensive.
I had to switch to the ergodox after my RSI came back. I had been using regular keyboards for quite some time.

Show HN: Beautiful Failed Blackhole Simulation
Epilepsy/Seizure Warning: If you have epilepsy or experience seizures, the animation is a failed attempt at recreating the black hole visualization from the film "Interstellar" with three.js that resulted in a plane shaped event horizon phasing through a spherical black body around which point particles revolve. Please skip it if you have a condition that could cause a seizure as a result of looking at any sort of visualization.

For everyone that wants to safely check it out, simply do not interact with the screen for a few seconds to make the UI fade away so you can look at the visualization. Cheers everyone.
Dell has been crap in the server, "blade", desktop, and laptop space for over 20 years.

They couldn't even get their touch-pads consistent (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41992784).

I have very few generic vendor sourcing advice when it comes to computing hardware, but "Nobody ever got fired for NOT buying Dell." is one of them.

Just don't.
Wasn’t the initial first day blitz overwhelming many border-adjacent units and military bases was largely due to pwned 4g/5g infra and having those troops accurate location?
Composting Chicken Manure
Totally.

Individuals who grew up primarily as consumers of tech, also have consented to a relationship of being consumed, bought, and sold themselves as the product.

Those who grew up primarily as creators with tech, have often experienced the difference.

This creates a really big blind spot potentially.
That is incredibly reasonable pricing thank you for being open to sharing. Hoping one day we talk from a business perspective. Cheers
I was on a team once where we ran agent-mode Prometheus into a Mimir cluster and it was endless pain and suffering.

Parts of it would time out and blow up, one of the dozen components (slight hyperbole) they have you run would go down and half the cluster would go with it. It often had to be nursed back to health by hand, it was expensive to run, queries ate not even that fast.

Absolutely would not repeat the experience. We cheered the afternoon we landed the PR to dump it.
How did that solve the crackhead problem?
Not really. On AWS, you're always going to pay an egress cost to get those logs out of AWS to your colo. If you were to ship your security logs to S3 and host your security log indexing and search services on EC2 within the same AWS region as the S3 bucket, you wouldn't have to worry about egress.

> I don’t understand personally the argument about not having bash syntax.

Three main reasons:

1. The Fish language is only useful only for somehow extend fish itself, so it is pointless to spend time learning and practicing it unless I'm writing something for me or other Fish users.

2. Sometimes we need to copy and paste something to our shell. When using Fish I must remember to set variables with set, get the status code with $status instead of $?, use () instead of $() and so on, which is a unnecessary overhead

3. Bash's syntax is a hell: sometimes we forget a space, an escape, use end or done when we need to use fi or esac and so on. I don't trust my Bash code, I type everything in the terminal to check if everything is ok. In Fish I just can't do that...

> If I want it, I just run `bash`

That's what I do for 2 and 3. But when I do that I don't have the nice features of Fish...

I still love Fish, though.
I think there is a newer version of RST based on NVMe and it has the same problem: if the system is in RST mode the SSDs aren't visible. Dell even has a recent article about this exact problem: https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000188116/intel-11t...
Why it's always the borrow checker that bugs the haters? You don't even see it work most of the time, because instead of using references everywhere, like most C++ers are conditioned to do, not only you can move values (doesn't necessarily mean actually performing memory operations), but also the compiler checks that you don't use the variable from which the value has been moved. And even if you do use references everywhere, they don't usually cause any problems, unless you decide to put more than one reference in a often used struct. I often use both shared (RO) and exclusive (RW) references as function arguments and rarely have to specify lifetimes manually, because automatic lifetime elision done by the compiler is sufficient in most cases.
The moral high ground was lost when the U.S. and its allies invaded Iraq on a pretext.
It is slowly becoming unsafe, and fixing it in orbit is likely too expensive. Space is a very punishing environment - enormous differences in temperature, vacuum, aggressive radiation. 25 years of such conditions will have consequences.

It could probably be dragged onto a higher orbit as a museum in situ, but keeping actual living people in there is going to become too risky soon.
Seems?

As an outsider to Europe, but living in the EU, and seeing USA and the EU neutrally, I would say the EU as a whole is intellectually skewed a little bit to the left.
I definitely think that running the microservices deployment of Mimir (and Loki) looks hairy. But the monolithic deployments can handle pretty large volumes.
My thoughts, as someone who focuses on tools a lot -

Ergonomic is a must. Anything not ergonomic should be gently removed from your approach.

Mechanical is nice, but relates to how your personal interaction with your tools is. I use Cherry Blue or similar. I personally want to feel that click. I also learned to type on a 1940s Royal typewriter. Cherry Red aka Linear feels awful. Connect any dots you like there.

TKL designs with f keys and arrows are ideal for emacs users imo. Anything less feels either for non programmers or for people who use keychords a good deal less. The really cranked down designs seem more for writers than coders- special characters are in layers.

I have used Kinesis keyboards for a few years now. Their Edge RGB is _very_ nice. After an RSI episode earlier this year, I moved to an Advantage 360 SmartSet. I consider their SmartSet system to be ideal in terms of a very good meet point of configurability, ease of use, and reliability.

Re the 360, I am not as convinced of the Ortho layout or lack of f-keys. The thumb keys work well.

I would recommend Kinesis as a professional keyboard vendor.

In any case, this becomes a personal geometry problem where your hands, arms, shoulders will all combine to make a physical keyboard better or worse. This is further fit +/- by the tools we use. So it's very individual. Hope my experience shared here help someone.
Kalash are a relic of Proto-Indo Europeans is a catch all with no evidence. Such claims with no actual evidence is not worth talking about. But I guess the Greeks did leave behind influence given the new and improved muscled Buddhas that resembled Apollo
